Years ago, a tv crew climbed the fence at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. They were there to "investigate" whether the Navy stored nuke weapons at the the base.

The cameraman refused to turn his video camera off after a member of the Marine security detail advised him to do so.

The cameraman's trip to the ground and his subsequent screams were caught on tape as the Marines tossed him to the ground and handcuffed him.

I enforced a "deadly force" policy once. We had orders to shoot intruders if they came within 150 yards of a secure facility. ( cant mention names of anything)
Thankfully, no one came near. The locals knoew better, and knew why.

They were not playing. Deadly force policies are serious stuff, and totally legal.
